How to distinguish wind-cold cold, wind-heat cold, phlegm-heat cough, phlegm-dampness cough, lung-qi deficiency cough and yin deficiency chronic cough? What are these types of symptoms?

Cold is one of the most common respiratory diseases. There are many kinds of drugs used to treat colds. Chinese patent medicine is favored by people because of its small side effects and good curative effect. However, clinical practice has proved that improper selection of Chinese patent medicine will also delay the illness. Chinese medicine divides colds into four types: wind-cold type, wind-heat type, summer-heat type and fashionable type (influenza). According to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, different types of colds should be treated with different Chinese patent medicines.

1. Cold flu: In addition to common symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, cough and headache, patients also have symptoms such as chills, low fever, no sweat, muscle pain, runny nose, thin and white sputum, sore throat, thirst or thirst for hot drinks, and thin and white fur. Usually, they have to wear a lot of clothes or cover a quilt to feel comfortable. This kind of cold is related to the patient's feeling of cold. Treatment should be based on the principle of symplectic warming to relieve exterior syndrome. Patients can take Ganmao Ganmao Granules, Ganmao Qingre Granules, Jiuwei Qianghuo Pills, Xuan Tong Li Fei Pills, Wushicha Granules and other drugs. If the patient has symptoms of internal heat constipation, he can take Fangfeng Tongsheng Pill for treatment. Patients with wind-cold type cold should not use drugs such as Sangju Ganmao Tablet, Yinqiao Jiedu Tablet, Lingqiao Jiedu Tablet and Compound Ganmao Tablet. The key to treating wind-cold cold is to sweat a little (which is called warming the heart and relieving exterior syndrome in Chinese medicine). There are many methods, including sauna, soaking feet in hot water (preferably with some wine), covering two quilts, drinking ginger syrup, drinking ginger porridge and so on. The main prescription of wind-cold cold is Guizhi decoction, the first prescription in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, also known as the king of concoction (Mahuang decoction is also used for wind-cold cold cold, but it is used with caution in the south). Summary: pungent warming relieves exterior syndrome, dispersing lung and dispelling cold.

2. Wind-heat type cold: In addition to common cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and headache, patients also have severe fever, yellow and sticky phlegm, sore throat, etc., and generally feel pain before cold symptoms appear, with yellow or black sputum and constipation. Treatment should be based on the principle of pungent and cold relieving exterior syndrome. Patients can choose Xiangxue antiviral oral liquid, Ganmao antipyretic granules, Banlangen granules, Yinqiao Jiedu pills, Lingyang Jiedu pills and other drugs for treatment. Patients with wind-heat cold should not use drugs such as Jiuwei Qianghuo Pill and Li Fei Pill.

3. Summer-dampness type cold: The patient is characterized by chills, fever, pale mouth, headache, head swelling, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. This kind of cold mostly occurs in summer. Treatment should be based on clearing heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating dampness and relieving exterior syndrome. Patients can be treated with drugs such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Yinqiao Jiedu Pill. If the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms are serious, drugs such as Baohe Pill, hawthorn pill and Xiangsha Yangwei Pill should not be selected.

Fourth, when catching a cold: the patient's symptoms are similar to those of wind-heat colds. But the symptoms of fashion cold patients are more serious than those of wind-heat cold patients. Patients may have sudden chills, high fever, headache, chills, severe headache, general pain, fatigue, stuffy nose, runny nose, dry cough, chest pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and infants or the elderly may be complicated with pneumonia or heart failure. Treatment should be based on clearing away heat and toxic materials, expelling wind and penetrating exterior. Patients can choose Xiangxue antiviral oral liquid, Fangfeng Tongsheng pills, Chongganling tablets, Chonggan tablets and other drugs for treatment. If patients with cold are treated with Yinqiao Jiedu tablets, Li Qiang Yinqiao tablets, Xiasangju Ganmao tablets or Niuhuang Jiedu tablets, the curative effect is poor.

Patients with toxic influenza are characterized by high fever, nonsense, coma, convulsions and sometimes fatal. Therefore, the disease is easy to spread, and it is necessary to isolate and treat it as soon as possible.

In short, cold patients should choose different Chinese patent medicines according to their own characteristics, otherwise it will affect the curative effect and delay the illness. colds cough
